[QUOTE="sgryd, post: 24393, member: 15983"] I bit the grass trying to use EPIA for HTPC. Now I'm starting all over again. Please comment the following setup. - I want it to be near silent - Smooth nice playback of DVD, DivX, etc - DVB-T - Would be great if it could do HDTV as well The components: Motherboard: A8N-VM CSM [url]http://www.asus.com.tw/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=210&model=766&modelmenu=1[/url] This board has integrated nVidia GeForce 6150. Sounds good, doesn't it? Processor: AMD Athlon 3200+ 2GHz Is this to weak? Memory: Kingston PC3200 400MHz CL2.5 512MB Is 512MB enough? Case: Dign H7 [url]http://www.origenae.com/product_h7.htm[/url] Power supply: Fortron Source FSP300-60GNF (Passive) [url]http://www.fsp-group.com.tw/english/1_product/2_detail.asp?mainid=1&fid=52&proid=137[/url] CPU Cooling: Swiftech MCX6400-V [url]http://www.swiftnets.com/[/url] Arctic cooling 80mm fan (28cfm, 17dB) TV Decoder: TwinhanDTV Ter-Cl [url]http://www.twinhan.com/product_terrestrial_4.asp[/url] Will this work with MP? Remote: Microsoft MCE remote HDD: A quet HDD. Any sugestions? Size doesn't matter since I'll probably work mostly on my server HDD over a gigabit network. This is my first HTPC (I'm not counting the EPIA disaster..). Am I on the right way? Do you think I will get into trouble with the above hardware? Is there anything I have forgot? Thanks in advance.
